    To record traffic, then replay communication with EA, write a responder and redirect traffic to EA to responder and you're done. No more DRM... (profit?)

  8. Just another tax on Why You'll Pay For Netflix — Even If You Don't Subscribe To Netflix · · Score: 1

    Did not subscribe to the IRS either, though I seem to be a paying member. Their website sucks though, no "fun" pics in the member section to be be found.

  10. An internal study learned on MS Won't Release Study Disputing Munich's Linux-Switch Savings · · Score: 1

    Poking your motherboard with a screwdriver does not fix missing dll's. Note that this is according to a unreleased internal study by Microsoft, so I've heard...

  11. Digital Preservation on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 1

    Coincidentally I wrote some stuff up today on that subject in a internal report about possible dangers in regard to digital preservation. Preserving digital stuff for the far future, in this case > 2038 poses a potential danger if you do not apply some early planning. Think emulators, migration and stuff. Digital Preservation is still in the pioneering phase, mostly driven by archives, libraries, universities and cultural heritage institutions. DP is not just storing data, it is far more than that! Free tip of the day: there is potentially a lot of money to be made on this particular subject since there are only a few companies around offering serious Digital Preservation services. And yes, I make a nice living doing DP, thank you mr. Bitrot!

  12. Shady AV companies on Microsoft Fails Antivirus Certification Test (Again), Challenges the Results · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am convinced there must be at least ONE shady AV company that creates viruses to make money. Hard to prove, but very well possible.

  13. Re:Correct you if you're wrong, but... on Microsoft Fails Antivirus Certification Test (Again), Challenges the Results · · Score: 1

    You are right on most parts. But not all viruses need a bug to be effective. Think ransomware, which might start encrypting your files.That is why a decent AV also has a heuritics engine, to detect unusual behavior based on known tricks and assumptions.

  18. Second 'Law of Moore' on Security Expert Says Java Vulnerability Could Take Years To Fix, Despite Patch · · Score: 1

    "Over theÂhistory of programming, the number of exploits in softwareÂdoubles approximately every two years."

  19. Re:I dunno... on Ask Slashdot: Are Timed Coding Tests Valuable? · · Score: 1

    You are spot on as well.

    I pretty much have the same career story, but failed miserably during the last test (out of 5) during an interview with a well known techfirm.

    They gave me 15 minutes to see check if the square root of a given number X is rational or not...

    Failing for this gave me a real bad feeling, damn...

  20. Re:Just plain wrong to use Linux in a weapon. on World's First Linux Powered Rifle Announced · · Score: 1

    Would the military really care if they breach a license? Think not... Then again, they would never admit it.

    Smoking hashes is bad for your windows?

  22. Counting method? on YouTube Drops 2 Billion Fake Music Industry Views · · Score: 1

    Makes me wonder about the counting method.
    Would they:
    a. count each pageview
    b. count after video played last frame
    c. combination of both
    ?

    If they would only count pageviews, how about counting people watching videos with an app or on a smart tv (which I regularly do).

  23. Sharing can be made safe on EFF And Others Push For Open Wifi APs Everywhere · · Score: 1

    A Dutch provider does it like this: You share your modem, then you can use other users' AP's. Every guest gets its own static IP independent of AP, plus the bandwidth is separated from the host. It is not yet available where I live, but I am definitely are going to opt in for it when it becomes available. One big plus for me, next to having WiFi available throughout the city, but that you can put your never changing, but roaming IP in your home router for secure access.

  24. Check, check and check on Want a Security Pro? Get Politically Incorrect and Learn Geek Culture · · Score: 1
